Hey @sunitjoshi, do you have OpenSSL installed? Check out these instructions:

Can you confirm which version of OpenSSL you have installed?

[sunitjoshi]

The version is:
OpenSSL 0.9.8zh 14 Jan 2016

[sunitjoshi]

One more thing, I've these outputs:
○ → which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl

○ → ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2j/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
ln: /usr/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib: File exists
